I recieved my PhD in Geography from Simon Fraser University in British Columbia in 2002 following nearly seven years of time split between the Puget Sound area and Vancouver, BC. Towards the latter part of this time period I began working, initially as a contractor and then later in a full capacity, for the Advanced Simulation Center, a division of Lockheed Martin Simulation, Training and Support. Though my time at LM put some distance between my degree and my first tenure track position, this was very valuable in that I was able to hone a variety of skills ranging from software engineering to project management. In addition, I was involved in cutting edge research and development which was ultimately a segue into my current GIScience position.
